Hey :D. These releases are mirrors of our monthly Patreon/SubscribeStar releases, so they only receive critical updates. New monthly releases need to be purchased, just as our backers on Patreon/SubscribeStar would pledge for a new update. I recommend checking us out on those sites if you plan on sticking around :D, but we provide our content on itch so people don't have to sub (and for people who can't use those sites).

Does this game have a steam release where you can pay full price for it and wait for updates?
It does feel a little scummy to buy something but need to rebuy the same, but updated version of the game... Why not have a free demo and wait to put out a purchasable version of the game which is the complete/final game? Whilst it is stated that this game won't updated here, but I do feel it may be a better practice to avoid people accidentally buying it :P
